Merry Christmas!

Don't make fun of kids who still believe in Father Christmas, there are adults out there who think trickle-down economics is real...

Happy to have my family around me today & thinking of those far less fortunate than us in this ever fractious world.

Menschen ohne Obdach sind der Kälte häufig schutzlos ausgeliefert. Wenn ihr jemanden auf der Straße frieren seht, könnt ihr anbieten, einen Kältebus anzurufen. Hier eine Auswahl von Kältebus-Nummern im Norden.

“Now I don’t have a dad, I don’t have a home, I have nothing else. Only this dog. “No cats, no father, no house, no soul - these bastards tore everything out,” a resident of #Kherson, whose father died during the shelling of the city by #Russian occupiers

However you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and I hope it's filled with exactly as many enchanted daggers, mossy witches, and rum-drunk badgers as you require.

So I went to the grocer today to get supplies to make some apple pies, and when I got in line to check out, the cashier told me in an exasperated tone "I don't know how long this'll take. These people don't have enough to pay for their stuff and they don't speak a word of English".

I asked how much. $1.13. Their SNAP card was just over a dollar short.

When I used to work as a cashier, I was regularly a few bucks short at the end of the day for this exact reason.

I told them to just go have a good day and that I'd pay for their stuff. It was only $16 in total.

The indifference in society today makes me so sad. They needed food more than Safeway needed a dew more dollars of profit.

When I went to pay, the kiosk offered to have me round up or donate $5 to feed the hungry.

I think direct action made a bigger difference today.

Shout out to fellow shift workers , emergency services and anyone else working around the clock at this time of year. Hope your shift goes quickly and quietly #JoinIn

May the bridges I burn provide me warmth and light.
